I had this plug -in running for a while, but then things started happening, such as Jetpack Stats stopped working. When this plug-in was updated to 4.7 it caused a fatal error in WordPress and I had to deactivate it, as soon as I did so Jetpack Stats working again. I would love to say this plug-in works well, but sadly it doesn't, hopefully these issues can be patched. Update, it has been patched and is now working again.
